Description
A superb choice for naturalistic and wildlife-friendly planting, Carthusian Pink brings colour, height and movement to sunny borders, gravel gardens, wildflower meadows and prairie-style planting schemes. The flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, while the upright stems also make a useful addition to cut flower arrangements.
From early to mid-summer, slender stems carry rounded heads of small, deep pink to magenta flowers, creating a striking display above narrow, grass-like foliage
Dianthus carthusianorum is hardy, drought tolerant once established and relatively low maintenance. It prefers a sunny position and well-drained soil, making it particularly well suited to dry gardens and coastal conditions. Regular removal of faded flowers can encourage further flowering and help maintain a neat appearance.
